Public option, government option, whatever
Hub Blog is no fan of the ideologues at Fox News. But where’s the smoking gun here? Forget whether "public option" was the commonly used term that Fox refused to mention on the air. The "public option" would have been A.) Government created B.) Government designed. C.) Government run. The lefty supporters of the "public option" were the ones playing political games with words, similar to how they refer to government-run health care as a "single-payer system." They avoid the word "government" at all costs for obvious political reasons. … There’s so much to go after Fox on when it comes to biases. This ain’t one of them.
